"You can’t go wrong with the fried chicken at this tiny Bronzeville spot, whether it’s in the form of wings, thighs, or covered in powdered sugar on a waffle bed. Each piece is flavorful from its crispy exterior, through the juicy meat, down to the bone. Plus, even though Cleo's chicken is the main star, they also have an excellent supporting cast of sides like mac and cheese, savory green beans, and sweet and savory corn muffins.
